Rita,
Here is the Swedish round bread like Grandma Great used to make with Lutefisk (Hilma Forsberg)
Swedish Yeast Roundbread
(No sugar & no shortening)
5 cups lukewarm water
3 Red Star yeast - (check date)
1 tablespoon salt
Measure & combine & mix together:
(4 cups unsifted Rye flour
8 cups all-purpose flour
Save out 2 cups or so of this flour to use on board to roll out breads.
Add flour mixture to yeast mixture mix & knead well till nice & smooth.
This dough is stiff & takes lots of kneading!
Grease pans + dough lightly & let rise for 2 hours in warm place.
Punch down & let raise 40 minutes.
Cut dough into 7 pieces (make balls).
Roll out on lightly floured breadboard to about ΒΌ" thick or thinner.
Roll over both sides "once" with Swedish rolling pin.
Lay on double cloth & cover with cloth to keep warm. Let rise 45 min.
Bake on hot pizza or cookie pans in 3750 oven for 8 -- 12 minutes. Will be lightly brown on bottom only & turn back up when done.
